Meet your candidates

State Rep. Lewis Evangelidis will moderate the Rutland Business Association's 2007 Candidates Night, Monday, May 7, at 7 p.m., downstairs at the Rutland Public Library. With multiple candidates seeking several town offices, this is the opportunity to listen to, question and meet the people who want to lead the community.

There are six candidates vying for three seats on the newly expanded select board; three persons seeking one of two planning board seats; two running for Southern Worcester County Vocational School Board; and two running for town moderator. The candidates offer differing views and positions on the issues.

Light refreshments will be provided. Town elections are Monday May 14. Polling hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
